Joe I was not trying to push anything on you I just simply gave you the option to choose the Wavetrac system and and Ron wanted to inform you on the situation as well, hence why he was on the phone with you briefly. There were only limited quaife diffs. going for that special price and unfortunately that price cannot be matched for new orders or back orders. I want to again apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. It typically takes 6 days for your refund on the credit card to show up. I will follow up with my accounting department that the total amount has been credited back.

One Vendor it felt like a USED car dealership, they basically kept harassing me asking me why I didn't want Wavetrac.

Anyone have any similar experiences? I will leave the Vendor names out for now.

Joe,

There are only two authorized Quaife distributors here in the USA, VAC Motorsports and US. I also have a few authorized dealers if you are insterested in contacting them, PM me.

You may be able to find the Quaife from someone else, but may lack after sales support or had the problem you mentioned.

lol. before I even got to who the one of the vendors were, I had MB in mind. Somehow the way the OP described the sales experience sounded way to familiar to me. Hope you get your credit back soon, and I hope the authorized sellers, e.g. HP Autowerks, can clear some stuff up for the community.

Bait and switch...lol, has the industry declined that much?
